The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Chevy dealer trade in offer $6,000
Carmax $7,000
Carvana $11,400 and they will pick it up from my house today for $90.

How do they do it?


I think Hindenburg's explanation is probably best, but we'll see.

I lost a lot of money on my CVNA short and I would have mixed feelings about watching it crash and burn, having lost on the upside and not being in a position to get it back on the downside (I've sworn off shorting), but I still expect this to happen eventually. Maybe a long position in KMX is a safe way of taking a side on this bet.
